From Spice Island Forests to Your Ritual

The kernel that once shaped maps and merchant routes.

- Native to the Banda Islands of Indonesia, nutmeg was once worth more than gold and reshaped centuries of global trade.

- The fragrant kernel is dried for weeks before steam distillation captures its warm, spicy essence.

- Used for centuries in Ayurvedic and traditional culinary rituals as a symbol of warmth, abundance and hospitality.

  • Patch test

Apply a small diluted amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before broader use.

  • Children

Not recommended for children under 6. Use with caution and lower dilution for older children.

  • Pregnancy
